Interstate 70 runs
from Interstate 15 near Cove Fort, Utah, to a Park & Ride lot
just east of Interstate 695 in Baltimore, Maryland. I drove
Interstate 70 from St. Louis to Baltimore during Day Two, Day
Three, and Day Four of the Delaware Trip.

"Welcome to
West Virginia" sign on Interstate
70 East. The interstate's time in the Mountain
State is a short but scenic 14 miles.

Interstate 70 East
approaching Exit 1A - U.S.
40 East/WV 2 North. We are currently driving
on the Ohio River bridge.

Interstate 70 East
at Exit 1A - U.S. 40 East/WV
2 North - Main St./Downtown in Wheeling. The
Wheeling Tunnel is just ahead.

Interstate 70 East
as it prepares to enter the
Wheeling Tunnel. The tunnel is less than 1/4
mile long and has a 45 mph speed limit.

Interstate 70 East
at Exit 1B - U.S. 250/WV 2
South - S. Wheeling/Moundsville. This exit
immediately follows the eastern end of the
tunnel.

Interstate 70 East
at Exit 2A - WV 88 North -
Oglebay Park.

Interstate 70 East
at Exit 2B - Washington Ave.

Interstate 70 East
at Exit 4 - WV 88 South -
Elm Grove. The sweeping overpass ahead is
that of Interstate 470's westbound lanes. There
is no direct access from Interstate 70 East to
Interstate 470 West, nor from Interstate 470
East to Interstate 70 West.

A closer view of
the merge of Interstate 470
and Interstate 70. Only two more interchanges
remain in West Virginia before entering
Pennsylvania, Exit 5 at U.S. 40 and Exit 11 at
WV 41..

Interstate 70 East
at Exit 5 - U.S. 40 - Elm
Grove/Triadelphia. The final nine miles in West
Virginia are full of curves and steep uphill
climbs for those traveling eastbound. One
more interchange at WV 41 remains, but I
was not able to get a picture of the sign there.
